Crying out for a genuine 6, today. Add it to the list.

I wouldn't say it's wrong to claim that we would be better off in the long term without the signings of Barry and Dibling. Their contribution to the first half of the season is not worth the 62 M spent on them. Dibling may become at fantastic player but with this start and lack of trust from Moyes I am sure that will not happen at our club.

We need to spend money more wisely this January...

It wasn’t an issue until we went gung-ho chasing the game IMO - Garner/Tim is the least of our issues with Armstrong waiting in the wings and Gueye returning from AFCON.

RB, LB then ST are the priorities for me.

A competent RB changes this side completely, that should be the only priority for Jan.

Beyond that just keep our powder dry and see how the likes of Barry, Tim, Alcaraz, Dibling, Rohl etc kick on this season before choosing what to address in the summer

That damsgaard is a lovely player would love him in a blue shirt

We ain't got any funds I reckon to splash the cash on a RB , or any other position, considering we were looking at free agents for the position....

will be 2 loans to pack the squad out....

Left back still the main priority for me.

Mykolenko gets away with all kinds with people thinking he’s a solid defender but he isn’t.

He’s fucking terrible in everything he does.

Teams leave him in space on purpose and moyes has to literally hide him so he doesn’t get the ball.

Think he's looked worse this season because he's tried to get forward to support Grealish and then can't get back and gets caught out far too much. Still think a right back is the one but wouldn't complain at a good fullback at either side, makes this team better instantly.

Yeah the biggest problem is hes the 1 available to grealish over and over again. Hes getting ao much ball in attacking areas and his only instinct is to turn back

Myko is better defensively than any RB we have, switch Ndiaye back to the LW and Myko would look better as Ndiaye is a one man wing.

Myko’s biggest issue is that Grealish wants to play football

He’s a terrible defender.

He’s still a better defender than Patterson, O’Brien or Garner at RB though

Yeah RB over LB is definitely the priority. Myko is crap but he's not as crap as JOB at RB.

We need to find a loan, it doesn't even have to be a particularly good player, just someone better than JOB and Patterson, just someone who can do a serviceable job for 6 months.

I find Mykolenko rather bad both defending and attacking..

Hate watching Mykolenko. Hes not up to the level. Relegation level LB.
